Civil servants and students in Chin State were instructed by regional authorities not to show public support or welcome Aung San Suu Kyi during this week’s tour of the state, according to an NLD official.

Thousands of supporters greeted Burmese opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi in the town of Kale in Sagaing Division on Monday when she made a stop in the town en route to western Burma’s remote Chin state.
